Participants

Reaction Steps

To the compound (40.0 g, 195 mmol) obtained in step A were added ethanol (600 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (60 ml), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 24 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained oil was diluted with water, and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with diluted aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The insoluble material was filtered off, and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound (32.0 g, yield 70%) as a colorless solid.
